    Productive Trip

    6 Hour Trip AM 7:00-1:PM • 4 adults

    We were on fish right away. Caught our limit of Red Snapper and had time to troll for other species. Unfortunately, we cut the trolling short due to a couple of sea sick guys in our group. (To no fault of the Captain). We did land a nice barracuda as well.

    Super awesome trip

    12 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    Captain Emilio and his deck hand AJ were great!!! Im sorry i cant remember the deck hand apprentice that AJ was training but he was great as well. once we arrived at our destination they got us on the fish quick. I highly recommend Captain Emilio and his boat the “Cachi”. Him and his crew are all very knowledgeable. You cant go wrong booking a trip with these guys.

What's biting with Chachi Charters in South Padre Island

Flounder time! The fish will hide around grass beds and near passes. There are also Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Trout about. If the weather allows it, Snapper in state waters are a big deal.
